Wanted – Apache Committers

OpenNTF is looking for
a few volunteers to act as Committers. Committers are Contributors
who have the authority to place OpenNTF submissions into the OpenNTF Catalog.

So how does this work?

There are two sides to
OpenNTF. Contributors can post submissions to OpenNTF without any vetting
or analysis of their project. However, for a submission to get into the
OpenNTF “Catalog”, a project has to meet the following requirements:

All third party code must
be listed in a Notice file, and have licenses compatible with the overall
project license

All contributors must
be covered by an ICLA or CCLA

Any encryption code must
be flagged to the IP Manager (a legal requirement)

There should be adequate
documentation

The submission has to
install and run without issues.

Only
projects that are in the Catalog are eligible for the various OpenNTF contests.

As IP Manager, I work
with the Committers to analyze contributions. I scan the code for
IP issues, and when I determine that all is in order, the Committer checks
out the submission to ensure that the documentation is adequate and that
the code actually runs. Not a big job – but one that gets you involved
with the day-to-day running of the site.

So – we would like to
get some Committers from the community to help with this. We do have some
Committers who handle submissions licensed under GPL – but need some Committers
who handle submissions licensed under Apache.
